I am new to this site need some buddies to go through this with ! Surgery set for may 2nd anyone else scheduled in may???

I was planning on a week until I seen my surgeon on Wednesday and she told me that she will not release any one any sooner than 2 weeks . And than she said that depends how well she thinks the patient is doing. What a bummer' date=' I love working :wub: and I probably sit at a desk 6 hours out of 8. Now I have to sit at home for 2 weeks, I'm going to go crazy and you all are going to be sick of me.[/quote']

Oh wow...I couldn't imagine being off for 2 weeks! I really don't want to do 3 days but I knw I will prob need @ least that.

Yah! I'm May 11 too! How come everybody's "before" picture looks so much better than mine???

Ok I have to agree with yelorz we all look beautiful with are close ups of our faces showing only. How about the weekend before our surgery we post a front, back and side view picture of our selves? I guess that means I better get with it since my surgery is scheduled for Wednesday May 2. Be on the look out. I will post when I get my pictures posted. This is some thing I want to do on a monthly basis so I can see the difference any way. I also plan on taking measurements this weekend also.

I also strongly agree with Chantix. I think this is a miracle pill. I quit 12 weeks ago last Tuesday and It has really worked for me and my husband. Chantix really made it very easy to quit and I have tried on several occasions before. But chantix really kicked the nicotine in the butt for me.

Same here... 2nd may. Freaking out but positive!

Started my liquid diet today. So far it's going ok... But I am supposed to have 6-8 8oz servings a day and I've only had one so far. I have a feeling I am going to have to be drinking constantly to get it all in.

I will be part of the May bandsters! My surgery is scheduled for May 15th. I will begin my liquid diet on May 1st.

I just signed up early this morning for this site, and glad to be able to reach out give high five support. You Go girl!

CONGRATULATIONS ! quitting smoking is huge! I weighed myself and am down 18 pounds now want it to be at least 20 by surgery day on wednesday. I know I can do it mind over matter. I am taking about 5 days off only i work 2 jobs and only have vacation time at one so my doc told me as long as i am up to it i can go back whenever i decide! I work so much that it is gonna be so wierd being home so much my family will probly be sick of me after 3 days lol

how do i fix this weight tracker thing to reflect my other 3 lbs ?? do i have to make a new one each time???

i tried to change this ticker and now its just mumbo jumbo why??

Happy Weekend May bandsters! I start my liquid diet on Friday. (5/4). I am scheduled for May 18th for my surgery. I have PCOS so I have been struggling for a long time to loose the 60lbs that I carry with me all the time. I am ordering my unjury powder today. Hope everyone is staying positive and hanging in there. Who else is a May 18th surgery date?

Day 1 of liquids was going fine til about an hour ago. My mind and body feel weird. Can't explain this feeling. lol

I also told my manager at work today I was getting banded in 10 days. She said it was too drastic and that she doesn't think I need it (she is the same size as me). Frustrating!

Glad to see sum other may bandsters with pcos to go thru this journey with! Unjury is def the best that I've tried!!

Hang in there I think people say that a lot because as I have read in other posts no one wants to be the the big friend. Only you know what you want and need. Don't let it get you down. You are going to do great keep thinking positive.
